Sigiriya Rock, Sri Lanka

The Sigiriya Rock of Sri Lanka is the famous tourist
destination of the world. The UNESCO has listed this site as the eighth wonder
of world. The Sigiriya Rock is one of eight heritage sites of Sri Lanka and is
situated in Matale district of central province of Sri Lanka.

Sigiriya Rock is also known as the Lion Rock. The
entrance to this heritage site is so majestic that we feel like we are in the
ancient world. The picturesque location is full of gardens and ponds which were
build 15000 years back.

The Sigiriya Rock is full of greenery and best time
to visit here is in the winter and rainy season. The lush green scenery also
attracts various types of birds in the surroundings. As the summer season rises
there are few visitors attracted due to hot climate. According to me it is
picturesque when the clouds touch the rock during rainy season.

The Sigiriya Rock is contained with precious
frescoes that were carved during the rule of King Khasyapa. In this Sigiriya
Rock there is a mirror rock location where the king used to look his image. In
those days it was so polished that it could reflect the image of the people standing
in front of it. Today we see many of the tourists have carved their names and
written something odd on that mirror rock. Now they have banned tourist to
carve anything on that rock.

To climb the Sigiriya Rock there are iron ladders
and footpaths which seems very interesting and breathtaking for every visitor.
In this way when you climb on to the top of lion rock you can see the gardens
on some manmade ponds where even the rain water is restored.

In this way if you are scheduling your visit to the
Sigiriya Rock then be sure to arrive at the venue early in the morning so that
you can enjoy the surroundings.
